L875-Mistakes When Growing a Mustache
Gone are the days when styling was a women’s affair. The
present beauty trends have experienced better accentuation of men’s styling.
Nowadays, most men are growing beards, and you’ll be surprised
how much some spend for that impressive beard. Some acquire the best products
for beard growth, while others visit the best barbers in town. The mustache is
yet another emerging trend and is gaining fame amongst most modern men.
Nonetheless, caring for a mustache is somewhat tricky, and there are many mustache mistakes to avoid.
Check out things to avoid when growing a mustache.
- Leaving the mustache to get bushy
There are many mustache styles; some men like it when
cropped and short, others leave it to grow longer and fuller. Others like
having a lot of hair on the face, and this is a big mistake. A bushy mustache
doesn’t look neat and can be scary. Have it trimmed by a professional barber if
you don’t know how to trim a beard with scissors. Besides, a neat mustache looks clean and stylish.
- 2. Growing a youngster mustache
A youngster mustache is a thin and soft mustache that
usually grows when boys get to the puberty stage. Some of the young men try to
look older and do this by growing a mustache. Many do this once they begin
growing a few hairs on the upper lip, and this looks absurd. Wait for the hair
to grow and only grow a mustache when you have full hair on your upper lip.

Forcing a mustache on sparse hair
Most men suffer from the problem of thin hair. Forcing a
mustache on such hair won’t work. If you must have a mustache with this type of
hair, then try a small mustache or a toothbrush. The bottom line- a patchy beard or growing a
mustache with scarce hair is a No!
4.
Forgetting to shave
You must shave regularly to maintain a neat and charming
mustache. Your mustache will look awful if you miss a few days of shaving. To
have it look chic, trim it often and don’t do this horizontally. A diagonal
trim will crop stray hairs and prevent hair from curling into your mouth.
- 5. Using the wrong products and tools
No using the right products and tools can affect the
growth of your mustache. Wrong products can lead to hair loss, dandruff, and
itching. Others can be a waste of time and money. For instance, beard oil or styling wax
are excellent products for healthy hair. But using them on a youngster mustache
won’t help much. You’re better off using a moisturizer once your hair grows to
about an inch long.
- Not brushing
Most men focus too much on their beards and forget about
the mustache. Combing and brushing your mustache helps spruce it up, and not
doing this is a big mistake. Brushing often will help maintain control over the
growth pattern. Avoid using a regular hairbrush and instead invest in a
dedicated mustache brush.

What about the facial features?
Your facial shape and other features are key aspects to
consider before growing a mustache. If you have a small round face, a large
mustache will make you look amateurish. Such a feature will go well with a
small neat mustache. If you have a large prominent nose, forget about growing a
mustache altogether. Choosing beard styles
that don’t match the shape of your face is a NO!
